Re: Why the 24-70 / 2.8L II does not have IS.

My guess is, Canon asked working Pros, what the would need most in the 24-70L upgrade. IQ, build quality and reliability was high on the list. I guess most of the pro users of this lens do weddings or journalism, so IS is not very important.

So Canon put most effort in building a very robust lens with very good IQ. No budget left for IS, so the left out IS.
